lint

A procedure for running a project's formatter and linter, which check code style and common programming mistakes, and fixing issues that can be safely corrected automatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before opening a pull request to find, auto-fix, and verify formatting and lint errors using the commands defined by the project.
Why use it?
It catches style and code-quality problems before a pull request and requires remaining warnings to be reviewed rather than hidden.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lint scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Lint Skill

Run linter and formatter, fix auto-fixable issues.

Protocol

1. Read lint command

Read claude/build.md for the lint and format commands.

2. Run formatter check (non-destructive)

# Example: npx biome check . 2>&1 | tail -30
# Example: black --check . 2>&1 | tail -20

3. Run linter

# Example: npx eslint . --max-warnings 0 2>&1 | tail -40
# Example: ruff check . 2>&1 | tail -30

4. Auto-fix safe issues

# Example: npx biome check --write . 2>&1 | tail -20
# Example: black . && ruff check --fix . 2>&1 | tail -20

5. Review remaining issues

For issues that can't be auto-fixed:

  • Understand the rule being violated
  • Fix the root cause (not by disabling the rule)
  • Only disable a rule if you understand exactly why it's a false positive

6. Re-run to confirm clean

# Run the same check commands again — must exit 0

7. Report

Lint: PASS — 0 errors, 0 warnings
Format: PASS

or

Lint: FAIL — 3 errors, 5 warnings
  - error: ... (fixed)
  - warning: ... (fixed)
  Remaining: 0 (all resolved)

Rules

  • NEVER suppress a lint rule without a written justification in a comment
  • NEVER "fix" lint by converting errors to warnings
  • Pre-existing lint issues: document them, do NOT fix unrelated issues
  • Only fix lint issues introduced by the current change (unless asked to do a lint pass)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

lint is a skill published in the GitHub repository brain-bootstrap/claude-code-brain-bootstrap (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 445 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
